Friends of the Collections

Members of SAMA's Friends of the Collections groups enjoy special programs and insights from the Museum's curators while getting an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the collections alongside others who share similar interests. Friends groups also support specific curatorial areas by raising funds for acquisitions, exhibitions and related programs. Museum membership is a prerequisite of membership in a Friends group, but you may join as many as you like.
